As I set foot in Christie Collections located in the bustling heart of Nairobi, I was immediately enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The shop, renowned for its exquisite tappi, showcases a collection that marries tradition with contemporary flair. I visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon, eager to explore what this gem had to offer.
One item that caught my eye was the Handcrafted Tappi Set, priced at Ksh 1,200. The rich colors and intricate designs were a feast for the eyes, and I could hardly resist the urge to take one home. Each piece tells a story and reflects the artisan's dedication.
As I walked around, I noticed the friendly interactions between the staff and customers. It was at that moment I met James, an attentive attendant who guided me through the variety of products available. His knowledge about each item was impressive and he passionately shared the craftsmanship involved in creating the tappi. It made my shopping experience feel personal and curated.
Next, I was drawn to the Traditional Tappi Collection, which is highly praised by previous customers for its affordability and quality. Many reviews highlighted how these pieces not only serve their purpose but also add a touch of elegance to any table setting. The collection starts at just Ksh 800, making it a popular choice among both locals and tourists.
Before finalizing my purchase, I also sampled their Tappi-Inspired Crafts, available for Ksh 1,500. The craftsmanship was evident, and they would make excellent gifts. One particular piece, an artistic representation of the local culture, stole my heart. It encapsulated the essence of Nairobi, and I knew I had to bring it home.
As I left Christie Collections, I felt a sense of satisfaction not just from my purchases but also from having supported local artisans. James's hospitality made my visit memorable and truly exemplified the spirit of Nairobi. The attention to detail in both the products and the service was commendable, highlighting why Christie Collections is a must-visit for anyone in the area.
For anyone looking to explore authentic Kenyan crafts, I highly recommend stopping by Christie Collections. The blend of local culture and quality products, combined with excellent service, makes it an experience worth having. You can find them at the heart of Nairobi, where art, tradition, and commerce meet.
